Elon Musk has confirmed the birth of his 12th child and denied claims he tried to keep the baby’s arrival ‘secret’.

It’s the 52-year-old’s third child with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, with whom he also had twins in November 2021.

Musk, who alongside Neuralink is also the founder of SpaceX and Tesla, is understood to have welcomed his new baby early this year – but the arrival only became public knowledge over the weekend.

The billionaire denied claims he had tried to keep the child’s arrival under wraps but claimed that issuing a press release about it would have been ‘bizarre’.

Musk, who is known to be concerned over population decline, told PageSix on Sunday night: ‘As for ‘secretly fathered,’ that is also false.

‘All our friends and family know. Failure to issue a press release, which would be bizarre, does not mean ‘secret’.’

The baby’s name and gender have not yet been publicly revealed, but their arrival was first referenced in a report by Bloomberg published on Friday called ‘Elon wants you to have more babies’.
